The car wasn't designed for 1/4miles, I doubt you'd add 200kgs of stereo equipment if you want to go fast:p Besides I didn't see you racing at Drag Combat;)

would you add a few hundred rwkw if you wanted to go slow :)

Drag, bah, so passe, I like it sideways baby yeah!

besides, I dont think my 7kg rear springs would help much in that department, or my 235 tyres on 10" rims.

So gotta ask yourself, would you sooner have another R34 GTR (very tasty), or

A one of a kind skyline that puts down enough power to stop all over that GTR?

.

Sooner have R34 GTR no question.

Stock GTR would hose it in dry conditions not to mention wet with all that extra weight and aerodynamic drag a widebody would produce and that's without factoring cornering ability into it.

But park cars side by side in Murray st not many would notice the GTR.

Cars are a bad investment at the best of times

You also have to ask yourself when I sell in say 3 years time which car would be worth more AND easier to sell. The GTR would be worth say $45k that GTS substantially less.

Sure it's great to have a one off but there are disadvantages as well.

Some goose rear ends you and you have to source body panels. Car repair maybe takes 6 months not 6 weeks (guess only)

Time for sale 10 people looking for GTR's compared to 1 looking for an oddball car.

I admire anyone who has the guts to build a car such as this and in this case it is a brilliant example but it's also one of the fastest ways to do your dough this side of the high rollers room at the Casino

Cheers

stock gtr is quick, but not THAT quick.   If you didnt want to loose money on a car, you would have to buy the cheapest POS you could find.

It is difficult to sell a unique car though, but that is part of owning one - if that is what you want.  good with the bad.

Is N1K quick? No one knows

Can't see it doing low 13's or maybe 12's with all that gear unless someone can show a timeslip

XR6 with turbo only manages 14's

GTS stock I read does high 13's to 14 depending on the day and tester.

I would be very suprised if that car weighing close to commodore more power less torque and traction problems could put down a 12.

Love to see it do it and prove me wrong though.

Anyway that's enough from me .If we all looked for the same thing from a car it would be a boring car scene

Cheers

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
